As for "How could a whole town be so mean?", it is simple-- they are Christians.

Actually, although they may claim to be, I have issues with anyone that can do such a thing and still call themselves a "Christian". And although there are a many people bigots claiming to be practitioners of various religions that act or are capable of acting in such an abhorrent manner, I have met and/or talked to several nice religious people that actually seem to be what they claim, that is, tolerant and inclusive.

Religion doesn't make bad people, people make bad people. If religion didn't exist, bad people would find something else to justify their intolerance.

And, FWIW, I'm a self-realized atheist and always have been. You can't even imagine what they was like when attending a catholic school.
